There are not a few who contend lint the volume of currency is insufficient for the demands of trade, and that this is the cause of the strin gency. That this is not trne, however, may be shown by the fact that wlicu trade was very much larger than it has been for the last, two years, there was no complaint of a want of currency. When cotton was at a price worn two to three times as great as it now is, or lia"; been for the last two or three years, and requred, therefore, from two to three times as much to move it as it now does, there was, nevertheless, an abun dance of money to pay for it. Our mer chants, too, will testify that, though they sold lunch more large’)' then than now, their collections were never more prompt or satisfactory. And yet, tlic volume of c urrency was scarcely larger then than now, if at alt so. Surely the cause of the cael senunz. The part taken by this great German in the late contest in Ohio brings him .again prominently before the public. It is said that to him, more than to any other man, the result was due. In view of his splendid abilities, and of bis great influence with his German fellow-citizens, we are prepared to believe that tliis is true. Ever since bis earnest and powerful arraignment of the administration, some years ago, and his more recent unanswerable vindication of the cause of Louiri na and tlie South, we have regarded him with the highest ad miration. Born in a foreign land, and edu cated under a monarchy, his thorough un derstanding of our Constitution and clear perceptions of the principles of Republican government, are nothing less than wonder- fill. He is a statesman, and of the highest order. Though advocating th; election of Gov. Hates, he distinctly stated that he was no republican, hut that be did Jso be cause, upon the single issue presented, he was with that side. Forcing into opposi tion a champion so formidable, was not the least of the evils incident to tlie unfortunate position taken by the Ohio Democrats. We trust that no more such mistakes will he made, and that Carl Schurz will yet identify himself fully with the Democratic party.

They were met at the depot by a number of prominent citizens, and quickly escorted to the Capitol, where they will re main in state until to-morrow afternoon, when they will be taken in charge of the veterans of his division and other officers and men of the Confederate Army and Navy, the military of Richmond, including the cols ored troops, who have asked to be allowed to participate in honoring the deceased ; civ- if societies, &c., and escorted to Hollyrood Cemetery for interment. The preparations for the ceremonies on Tuesday next in honor of tho unveiling of the Stouewall Jackson statue are progres sing most extensively, and indicate that the demonstration will bo one of the grandest, if not the grandest ever witnessed in Rich mond. It is estimated that the population of Richmond on that day will be nearly, if not quite, doubled. Military and civil organ izations from different portions of the State, as well as outside, have signified their in tention ofbeing present, and the colored military of the city in this case, as in that of Gen. Pickett’s obsequies, have asked and received permission to participate, and will be assigned a position in the grand pa geant.

In answer, then, to the question, Why ia money scarce ? we answer, it is because pro ducers have not been able to realize from tlioir products enough to pay for what they have bought. Therefore, they are not only without money themselves, but their creditors also have fallen behind. This, we humly conceive, is the true reason why there is so little money among the people. But why have producers not been able to realize enough to meet their obligations? We answer, because, by the panic of two years ago, which originated— notin the South, but in the North—prices were reduced to a point far below what producers anticipated, when their own indebtedness was created. It is universally conceded that the panic wap caused by reckless speculation at the money centres of the North; and we think it would not bedifficult to show that it was the very abundance of currency that gave rise to speculation. The very fact that there was more than the wants of legitimate trade re quired, constituted the temptation to specu late. In tlie meantime, confidence has been shaken, money is hoarded, and prices do not react; and the only safe course for pro ducers, which constitute the great body of our people, ts the practice of thrift and economy. Let none be duped into the error that relief is to come through any ar tifice of legislation. TRE LESSOR OF THE OHIO ELECTION There is no good sense in trying to diss guise facts. It is the part of wisdom to look at them as they are, and to consider them with calmness and impartiality. It may not always be pleasant to do this, but there can be no doubt that it is the best. That the Democratic party has suffered a serious reverse in the late Ohio election, it is useless to deny. The majority against it was not luge, - it is true, considering the very large vote that was cast, but to an army in the full tide of victory, even a check canuct but be regarded as serious, if for no other reason than the loss of prestige which it in curs. The splendid and almost uniform sue cess of the patty, for & year or two before, had inspired it with enthusiasm, and had proportionately disheartened the hosts of the enemy. Ohio itself had been the field of one of its victories f and ito standard bearer then was again its chosen leader. , Under circumstances like these, it should have achieved a majority numbering in thousands what it bad before wanted in hundreds!.— Less than this were, scarcely a victory at all. How, then, shall we characterize the actual result? Have we put the ease too strongly in:pronouncing it a serious resorts? ! What, now, is the lesson to he learned ? Even disaster may be turned, by wisdom, to good aocoant; and if the Teccnt reverse be regarded in. the light of a timely warn ing, it may yet provo to have been of 'real cst officials; aga'nst corruption, against Cnes- arism and against centralism. Well, that is one lesson learned. But when wc think that we have the jewel fast in our posses sion, lo! the toad is not dead—lie was only stunned. He wiggles around, and his ven omous body seems galvanized anew. Another question springs up, which, though at first appeared insignificant and un important enough, now assumes alarming pioportions ; and that is, this Catholic ques tion, which, it seems, was no minor consid eration in the Ohio election. This is now attracting attention all over the United States , the press are ventilating themselves upon it; President Grant avows this antagonism to the “ Catholic encroach ments,” as he terms them, and the question is rapidly creeping into the Democratic par ty. The danger is held up as imminent nnd alarming, and consequently is exciting the whole country, irrespective of party; and even the probability of a religious war is in timated. Thus, will the Republican par ty endeavor to slip in another side issue, which like the currency one, is not a ques tion of the day. They will, of course, come squarely out on a free school and anti-Cath- olic platform, divert the Democratic mind from their grand aim of reform, and divide the National party as they did the State fac tion in Ohio. And wc are sorry to say that even this artifice will be very efficacious, unless this religious question is crushed in the very beginning. Now, as upon the currency, so upon this Catholic issue, wc have our views, which we would unhesitatingly and unflinch ingly utter should the time arrive when the question becomes a practical one; or should the Catholic clement, or any religious cle ment endeavor to destroy and pervert the wms and effects of free schools or other in stitutions, for sectarian purposes. Bat we contend that the question is not now a practical or an imminent one. We doubt, and wff certainly do not hope, that it will ever be. The time has come, indeed, for the political revolution, bnt God forbid that wc be disturbed now, or ever be afflicted with the horrors of a religions feud. Let the grand main object, then, of Reform be kept dearly before ns, and let the Cen tennial of American Independence find us fighting for honest, upright government, rather than convulsed or racked with dis sensions and bickerings of relgions sect, ndvrp m -■■wsst* j / - Delano’s Successor.—And now we have it by telegraph that Mr. President Grant, the wandering Selathial of the United States Cabinet, haring, returned to Washington after his littl e four months’ trip, casts his gaze aronnd among his special friends and finally alights upon ex-Senator Chandler, the worthless debauchee from Michigan, as the most worthy to sink into the official dip- pers bf Delano, the late Secretary of the Interior.

AMES AND TIIE DEMOCRATIC STATE COM MITTEE—THE LITTLE MARTI NET MOLLIFIED. Memphis, Out. 19 —In the so-called treaty of peace between Gov. Ames and the Democratic State Executive Committee, at Jackson, Miss., whereby the militia was disbanded, the Committee assured the Governor that there was no other desire among the whites than that peace should be preserved, the laws enforced, and a fair election had; and the leading whites would do all in their power to this end. The Governor responded that, in view of this assurance, he would meet their views as far as possible, and would order all the mil itia companies to disperse and retnm to their homes. It was agreed that the arms of these companies should he deposited in the depots in the neighborhood in whieh the companies were raised, and be guarded by United States troops, and be removed only by order of the Governor. The arms would not be delivered to the militia ex cept in case of riot or insurrection, which could not be suppressed by the civil author ities. ROW AMONG POLITICIANS.
